REf: PRofiles being sold. It is truly discouraging for a CPM user to see the last vestiges of information disappearing. There are two suggestions I have for Rhonda. First, subscribe to the Computer Journal, PO Box 1697, Kalispell, MT 59903. Subscription price is $16/yr for bimonthly issues. The second is to call what is commonly refered to as a Z-node. The one I would suggeest is run by a guy Named Jay Sage. (617-965-7259) This will put you in touch with the only major programming/informational activity in the CPM world (I think). The folks involved with the Z-nodes have developed a new Command Processor and disk operating system which gives tremendous capabilities to a standard CPM machine. Even if you are an appliance user (not interested in programming, etc), this modification to your operating system can make your work significantly more enjoyable and productive. The BBS will also provide you with the information (and more) that you used to get from Profiles. The Computer Journal will give you information on CPM systems as well as updates on what is happening in the ZCPR world through outstanding articles written bye Jay Sage. I wish you the best, and don't give up ship.
